Attic. Prue enters first, asking the oddly unconcerned SlutPiper to repeat Piggy's name for purposes of BoS research. SlutPiper tries to persuade the other two to drop the matter, but Prue and Phoebe are determined to find out more about the "she-demon" who is apparently after them. The sisters are wearing black (SlutPiper), white (Prue), and red (Phoebe), which reminds me of Vera Charles, Mame Dennis, and Agnes Gooch, apropos of nothing. SlutPiper says Piggy could have been lying about the she-demon, as demons are not exactly known for their honesty. Phoebe counters with, "Not all demons lie." Prue turns slightly to gaze at Phoebe, and the anvil meant for her head crashes to the floor by her side instead. SlutPiper basically gives a big "whatever" to the whole situation, and leaves to get ready for the reunion. As SlutPiper reaches for the doorknob, RealPiper again regains control of her body to whimper, "Prue, I'm dying." SlutPiper snatches the body back and covers with "I'm dying to get to that reunion," and takes her leave.
Phoebe wonders what's wrong with Piper, leading Prue to ask Phoebe what's wrong with her. She accuses Phoebe of lying about being at the library all night. Drop it, Prue. That's not exactly a lie. Phoebe 'fesses up to researching Cole's background. Belthazor/Cole blather. Prue thinks Phoebe needs to "let go" of the whole thing, and that trying to separate the good Cole from the evil Belthazor in Phoebe's mind is not the way to do it. Phoebe insists that she needs to focus on the good at the moment. Prue finally drops it, urging Phoebe to concentrate on the "demon that's after [them] now." Phoebe agrees, but bites her lip and looks pensive when Prue refocuses her attention on the BoS.
Piper's boudoir. RealPiper again tries to convince SlutPiper to return control of her body, noting that her boyfriend -- she's being evasive about names here -- will figure SlutPiper out even if Prue and Phoebe didn't. SlutPiper, who has changed into an outfit befitting her name, thinks she can snow the boyfriend anyway. As the Dolt orbs in in the background, RealPiper identifies him as "Tom." The Dolt takes in SlutPiper's tight black leather pants and the red PVC top she's sprayed over her boobs, and intones, "Wow." "Tom," SlutPiper greets him. "You scared me. I didn't hear the door." The Dolt is confused. "I didn't use the door. Did you just call me 'Tom'?" SlutPiper begs forgiveness for this mistake, and moves in to inhale the Dolt's face. The Dolt pulls away from the embrace, telling SlutPiper her "kisses seem different." That's because she's putting a little heat into it, moron. Your real girlfriend should take a lesson or two from that. SlutPiper pouts out an excuse, but the Dolt isn't having it and asks her to tell him his real name. SlutPiper tosses an aside to RealPiper in the mirror and shoots the Dolt up against the wall and into unconsciousness with a bolt of alchemist energy. She tells RealPiper not to worry, the Dolt is "too cute to kill." No, he's not. Feel free to fry him. You know you want to. SlutPiper leaves for the reunion.
